Message from the Mayor of Hackney to local communities in light of misinformation circulating on social media @mayorofhackney @MPSHackney
Hackney is no place for hate. We celebrate communities of different faiths and backgrounds, and take pride that we live peacefully side by side. We have been visiting local faith and community partners in Hackney to discuss their concerns, and conducting patrols to provide a visible and reassuring presence. Today there has been misinformation regarding planned public disorder in Stoke Newington. We have been working with Police colleagues to verify these claims. Hackney Police has confirmed there is no intelligence at this time to suggest far-right protesters plan to be in the borough. Despite best intentions, there is a danger that circulating unverified information can cause significant distress and potential harm. I encourage residents to please check with the Hackney Police for information. I urge anyone with concerns about their safety, or any information about potential disorder in the borough, to inform the police on 999 in an emergency or 101 in a non emergency.Mayor of Hackney
